Discipling Nations Through Dance

We exist to multiply Christ-centered leaders who carry the Gospel through redemptive movement.

Who we are

Redemptive Dance Ministries (RDM) is a unique discipleship ministry that uses movement and worship to reach and mentor youth through intentional, Christ-centered programs and community partnerships.

While dance may draw young people into the room, discipleship is always the mission. RDM creates spaces where faith, character, and community are formed alongside artistic growth. Prayer is woven into classes, rehearsals become moments of mentoring, and worship becomes a way of life rather than a performance.

Beyond local programming, RDM equips and supports leaders, instructors, and directors with the resources they need to establish and sustain healthy discipleship communities in their own cities. This includes training, curriculum, coaching, and practical tools that help chapters operate with consistency and spiritual depth.

Our goal is not simply to run programs, but to multiply leaders and raise the next generation of worshippers who know the Lord and live out their faith with purpose.

What We Do

Redemptive Dance Ministries equips and supports leaders, instructors, and directors to successfully launch and lead Christ-centered discipleship communities in their local cities.

We provide the training, resources, and tools leaders need to disciple youth through dance and worship. This includes discipleship curriculum, program materials, themed content, technology systems, and marketing resources that help each local chapter operate with excellence and consistency.

Through creative movement and intentional discipleship, we work together to raise the next generation of worshippers—young people who know the Lord and boldly live out their faith.

RDM Provides:

  • Discipleship curriculum and teaching resources

  • Program guides and chapter launch materials

  • Training and mentoring for leaders, instructors, and directors

  • Technology tools to manage and support local chapters

  • Marketing and communication materials for community outreach

  • Themed creative content for worship and discipleship

WHY IT MATTERS

Today’s young people are searching for belonging, identity, and purpose in a world that often measures their value by performance and appearance. Many environments focus on developing skills or keeping kids busy, but few intentionally shape their faith and character.

Redemptive Dance Ministries exists to meet youth where they are and guide them toward who God created them to be. Through movement, music, and discipleship, we create Christ-centered communities where young people are seen, known, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with God.

By equipping leaders with curriculum, training, and practical tools, RDM helps local communities offer safe spaces where youth can experience mentorship, build healthy relationships, and discover that their lives have meaning beyond what the world defines for them. Movement becomes a doorway to connection, and connection becomes an opportunity for discipleship.

Through this model, young people are not just participating in activities—they are being formed as disciples who know the Lord, serve others, and live with faith and courage.
